NFL Notes:
- Martavis Bryant has applied for reinstatement.
- According to ESPN, Bryant has been suspended three times in the past four years for violations of the league’s substance abuse policy.
- The most recent came in December, when he was suspended indefinitely for violating the terms of his conditional reinstatement from a previous ban.
- He was drafted in 2014, but has missed 36 of a possible 80 regular-season games since then because of suspensions.
- According to ESPN, Bryant has been suspended three times in the past four years for violations of the league’s substance abuse policy.
- Zeke is contemplating a holdout from Cowboys camp to try & force contract negotiations.
- He has two years left on his current deal, which will harden the Cowboys’ resolve.
- Also not helping his case – continued fallout from the incident in Las Vegas where he had an altercation with a security guard.
- He’s not facing league discipline (yet), but is claiming the guard is “extorting him” by filing a criminal complaint after the LVPD initially investigated & no charges were laid.
- Pictured below is the incident and the guard in question. It’s open to speculation why the guard is pursuing this even though the police initially dropped their investigation.
- The NFLPA has filed a grievance over Jadeveon Clowney’s franchise tag.
- The Texans tagged him as a Linebacker, and list him on the roster as OLB/DE, but the NFLPA has statistics proving he should have instead been tagged as a Defensive End.
- According to ESPN Stats & Information, he logged 729 snaps at defensive end, 101 at defensive tackle and 33 at linebacker last season.
- The cost savings are both significant & petty.
- The Linebacker cost is $15.443 million.
- The DE cost is $17.128 million.
- The Texans tagged him as a Linebacker, and list him on the roster as OLB/DE, but the NFLPA has statistics proving he should have instead been tagged as a Defensive End.
NFLPA is anticipated to file a grievance against Texans over the position assigned to franchise DE/LB Jadeveon Clowney, per league sources. The Texans labeled Clowney a “DE/LB”, but a LB tag carries a $1.698 million lower salary with it than the DE tag would. So issues on issues.

Wow – I apologize to last week. There’s less than fuck-all on tonight.
Aw, shit, I’m drunk
I know those four words are English, but the context seems incorrect.
MOTHERFUCKER IT DID IT AGAIN!!!!!!
I’m sorry guys, Looks like my Wednesday stuff is not going to happen this week. I don’t know if it’s wordpress. my laptop, or just shitty hotel internet. But every time I write something, it dies.
I’ll have you for Friday though. Probably.
I wasn’t gonna’ read it anyway so we’re even.
Yeah you were. You love me.
And it was your idea to begin with.
And btw, it hasn’t even gotten good yet.
THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID!
(sigh)
It’s been what they ALL say. (sniff)
Of course I read them.
Just you wait, smartypants.

Damn, put those away before you poke someone’s eyes out!
That’s probably your mother, if not your grandmother. She has nice tits.
Janet Leigh, 1950
This is a VERY Howard Hughes shot at RKO in the 1950s.
See now; this is what edging does for you; I was easily able to make it 38 seconds in. Thirty…….eight…. seconds…. people. I’m a regular Sting.
TROG!
OH god son of a mother!!!!!
Wordpress just ate everything I’d written for tomorrow.
OK, my stuff for tomorrow is going to be very brief. I ain’t writing all that over again tonight.

Why are you being so mean tonight?
Because I can’t deal with my real emotions of sadness and loss that your post tomorrow is going to be less than it could be. I enjoy your posts regardless, but to now be faced with reading one whilst knowing it could have been better will be bittersweet.
Let’s have a moment of silence please.

To be fair, several people showed up in Viet Nam who were expecting a party or a disco.
Don’t worry, I’ve come up with something.
it’s going to be short, but you’ll be able to laugh at me.
It might be short, but it sure is skinny.
That’s like playing Jenga with greased hotdogs.
This is the ‘But the dog ate my homework’ of not saving a file on your hard drive.
At lest you could have used the “My laptop was murdered in a bar in East Baltimore, and I was drunk enough that I can’t remember what I wrote (please see comment below before you get all judgey, people).”
Good news. I didn’t get murdered in East Baltimore tonight.
Well, I say it’s good news, but I suppose it depends on whom you ask.
But walking into a bar in East Baltimore and being the only whitey in the place?
Why do I do that stupid shit? But at least nobody shot at me this time.
“This time”? Story time, dude.
Let me guess: it involves a woman.
And a guy named Gerald.
Would you stop that already?
Oh wait, this is the hotel she works in.
I’m going down to the lobby to check. BRB.
Apparently she’s not working tonight.
And no sign of Gerald either.
Gerald is terribly unreliable. But his meth is always good and clean.
Hey, Gerald already got some love in the mailbag: https://www.doorfliesopen.com/2019/07/16/mouth-flies-open-dfo-advice-mailbag-14/
I like to go to dive bars. East Baltimore has some great ones.
One night, when I left one, as I was making my way out of the ‘hood, a gunshot rang out and shattered the rear window of the 4runner I was driving at the time.
Probably about 25 years ago. Obviously I didn’t learn my lesson.
Seamus, shortly before he was shot at:

LOL
Murdered? Don’t be silly; we all just wanted you to get violently pegged by a tall stranger.

I was hoping you’d edge a little longer.
Edging is some millennial bullshit. I gotta strike while the iron’s hot.
It takes longer than 17 seconds for an iron to heat up.
Angels are up early 6-0 over the Astros. They’ve been absolutely on fire since the tragic death of Tyler Skaggs (still no cause of death announced). I know correlation does not equal causation but something’s different.
everybody’s worried that if they cool off, management might kill another one, light a spark
I mean, Pujols has had a good run and all.
I just took a hot summer afternoon nap. It was beautiful.
Yeah, I don’t care what the haters say. Day-drinking with Darren Sharper is fun.
Don’t look now, but somehow if the season ended today, the #BFIB would be in the playoffs. Which would mean October el beisbol would actually matter in 2019.
Oh, well. At least you’re not the Cubs.
our bestest feature!!
On the “summer jollies” front, I ordered “One Long Night – a 100 Year History of Concentration Camps” off Amazon.
/yeah, I’m fucking GREAT at parties
On one beach vacation we got the entire family around for “The boy in the striped pajamas”. Not the fun kid-friendly romp we were expecting
Yeah, I was barely able to finish! – Marc T., parts unknown
Did they have a blooper reel?
Holy fuckballs I’m tired
Holy Fuckballs, I thought they made those things illegal years ago.
We closed on a house on Saturday. We were looking for another TV. We came across one for quite literally $70k. The one star reviews complained about not getting delivered in time, the other was upset with the quality.
I’m thinking those three negative reviews for a TV that costs triple most of our car payments are the Trump family.
plus, wait like 6 months and it will be $500
If a TV costs $70k, I fully expect a group of actors to come out of the set and act out the shows as I channel surf.
You’d think that the folks over at the new “Naked Coeds Play Beach Volleyball” league would fill this sports void but just like Caitlyn Jenner, they dropped the ball.
Jack Flaherty against the Dirt Stillers. Sorry, WCS, Tyler O’Neill is still in the lineup!
oh shit, though. Soft-tossing RHSP. We’s fucked.
I see there’s been a small outbreak of Quickbuckitis in Las Vegas…
blaxabbath did just move there…
Yeahhhhhh sooooooooo I’m in HENDERSON.
Soooooo……yyyeaaaahhhhhh…….
There also an outbreak of Syphilis in Alberta. Are we sure the pub crawl wasn’t up there….
It’s real easy to sit through 5 hours of Japanese wrestling a day for the month of July when it’s up against such things as “lol Brock Lesnar again” and “What If Kawhi signed with the Lakers instead?”
True dat.
I’m rewatching Chernobyl. It’s more uplifting than anything else in the news or sports right now.
what, Epstein’s child fucking ring doesn’t give u teh jollies??
Watching a bbc doc on incels, very chilling.
I’m gonna watch Riverdale!
